Method

• Mix all dry ingredients together; slowly add the wet ingredients minus the apple
• Carefully mix until well combined but do not over work the mixture, gently fold in apple pieces
• The batter should be the consistency of a light cake mix
• Tip enough oil into a deep sided heavy based pot and heat up to a moderately hot temperature (175C) Once the oil is ready (test drop of dough floats to the top of the oil, or a piece of white bread browns in 60 seconds) using a soup spoon, place 4-5 bal
• Be careful not to overcrowd and watch carefully for the underside to turn golden brown, then gently flip over and continue frying until done
• I cooked mine about 35 seconds per side, but they were the size of golf balls – adjust the cooking times according to the size of fritters and temperature of your oil, which should ideally be around 175C
• It is always a good idea to test one to ensure it comes out like you are expecting
• Drain on kitchen paper then drizzle over the icing if using or simply dust with icing sugar and enjoy!
